Operation
Installation 1. Position steamer on level surface and plug power cord into 3-hole 120 volt AC grounded
receptacle. If an adapter is used, it must be grounded properly.
2. Pull out water pan and fi ll with distilled (NOT HOT OR BOILING) water to 1/4″ from the top of
the water pan baffl es; then close drawer. Unit is now ready for operation.
3. No Hood Installation Required: According to the Uniform Mechanical Codes per the
International Conference of Building Offi cials Code EmberGlo Steamers do not require a
separate hood for vapor produced during operation. Also, there are no requirements in NSF
Standard 4 (2006e) for steamers to have ventilation.
__________________________________________
1. Move toggle switch to ON position. The pilot indicating light remains on at all times.
Allow 15-20 minutes to reach operating temperature.
2. Open food drawer, place food in pan; close drawer and operate lever as required per cooking
guide.
3. At end of time cycle, open drawer and remove food.
4. Keep drawer closed when not in use.
5. To shut off unit move toggle switch to OFF position.
Caution: Operate lever to the left and return to vertical position. Rapid repeated op-
eration will over steam the unit. The amount of steaming necessary is determined by the type
and amount of food to be heated. For more than one shot, wait 15 seconds between shots. A
“shot” is one operation of the lever.
__________________________________________
The food pan is removed by lifting up. Clean the inside thoroughly and wipe the outside to remove
any material which might have accumulated.
- To remove the food drawer, pull the drawer out until it stops, release stop located at rear
underside of drawer to unlock, and pull out the frame. Wipe the drawer and frame clean and
return by inserting the drawer slide into the slide of the frame, then push the food pan to the
rear until the lock engages automatically.
__________________________________________
DANGER: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS BULLETIN THOROUGHLY BEFORE
STARTING ANY TROUBLE SHOOTING. AN INADVERTENT SERVICE ERROR COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A TRAINED EXPERIENCED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR PROCEDURE.

Service

Note: Before attempting service, unplug power cord. For service or examination, all “working parts”
of the steamer are exposed by removing fi rst the cabinet top, then the back. The wiring diagram and
spare clean out gasket is located on inside of back.
Electric Switch/Thermostat
The on-off switch should audibly “click” when operated manually. To determine if electrically opera-
tive, a continuity check should be made.
- The thermostat is adjusted at the factory default setting. It is not recommended to re-adjust the
setting. If found defective it is recommended to replace.
Pump System
Operate pump lever and observe length of pump shaft travel. It should travel approximately 7/8″. If
travel is less, check for broken or disengaged pins, links, crank.
- Disconnect brass fi tting at water riser tube and bend tube up slightly so discharging water will
clear front of unit. Operate pump lever; water should shoot out about 15 feet. If water does
not shoot out, remove and inspect inlet tube assembly for leaks. Any air entering tube will break
the suction on the water. Check installation and alignment of dip tube spring as detailed under
next section. If water still doesn’t not shoot out, pump should be replaced.
- A strainer is located in the inlet tube at pump fi tting. Loosen fi tting and remove pump inlet tube.
Dump strainer out of tube and wash under running water, then replace.
Dip Tube and Spring
If the dip tube does not enter the water pan properly it must be replaced. When replacing, the open
end or point of hook must be at the bottom and the eye must be in a vertical plane, like a coin
standing on edge.
Steam Generator
1. To Clean. Remove cabinet top and generator insulation. This will expose a square plate on the
generator, which is removable for cleaning water passages.
- Check the three exposed holes when the clean-out cover is removed. If any of these holes
are clogged, clean them out by hand-twisting a 7/64″ drill for the center hole and a 3/16″
drill for the two side holes.
- After thoroughly cleaning the three holes, plug in power supply and operate lever to steam
unit. THE UNIT MUST BE HOT. Operate several times to blow out any accumulation.
- Replace the clean out cover, using new gasket. With the unit hot, operate lever. The unit
should steam properly. If it does not, and the pump is operative as detailed under PUMP
SYSTEM, the entire generator assembly is probably limed and must be disassembled and
cleaned or replaced.
- To clean generator assembly, separate casting from plate and clean lime from cavity
in casting.
Caution: Do not damage plate by scratching or polishing the fi nish.
2. Information on use of the overheat label (8451-98)
Caution: To prevent accidental shock, disconnect electrical plug from receptacle
before attempting service.
- An overheat label is located on the clean-out cover of the steam generator. The triangle in
the center of the label, as shown below, is normally gold color. This triangle turns black at 450° F,
indicating that the generator has overheated at least once. The operating temperature of the
generator should be between 350° and
400° F. If it is not, the thermostat should be
replaced.
Note: the overheat label will not return
to its original gold color once it has turned
black. It should be scraped off and replaced
so that the thermostat can be monitored at
all times. In addition, in the event that the
thermostat has to be replaced, it is important
to replace the label immediately afterwards
so that someone at a later inspection will not
suspect a faulty thermostat.

3. To Remove.
- Disconnect the water riser tube.
- Disconnect electric wiring at the two terminals.
- Remove 16 hex nuts. Note: Remove food drawer and hold screws up to prevent turning.
- Lift off generator.
4. To Replace.
- Install the gaskets in the discharge plate grooves as shown in Figure 3.
- Place discharge plate & gasket assembly on the steamer (gasket facing up towards
generator) so that steam holes line up with the twelve round holes in steam chamber.
- Place the generator (#5655-90) on the above assembly so that mounting holes line up with
the sixteen round holes in the discharge plate. Tape the carriage bolts in place from inside
steam chamber and then tighten the nuts with lock washers. Remove all the tape.

These suggestions are made only to help the operator get started. Since each location will
have diff erent portions and diff erent requirements, each operator must determine his own
operation habits. Please remember that the steamer conserves its steam in the drawer and
therefore does not often need repeated shots. The main exception is when frozen product
must be defrosted.
If a product is at room temperature or refrigerated, start with 2 shots. This ensures that the
food pan is full of steam.
If a product is frozen, start with 3 shots because condensation on the cold product eliminates
the steam quickly.
